So do you just unplug it and put it in the washer? Mine has a plastic part that remains on it? Gentle cycle?

I don't see why you couldn't just unplug the electrical part of the blanket and let it soak in the washing machine. However, I wouldn't let it agitate. Of course, you can spin it out! I also would drape it between two lines (if hung outside) or on a drying rack if dried inside. I wouldn't put any tension on the internal wires of the blanket.

Mine started doing this after having it about 6 months. Was about to buy a new one but then read this post. So I cleaned mine and then added white vinegar to it to possibly break up the oils in the bottom and throughout machine and it started working a little bit at a time. When it turned off I would just turn it back on again, kept doing that till it started doing a full cycle. Yay super excited I didn't have to buy a new one or the replacement part.

I washed the inside really well and when I plugged it in again,it worked. Good luck. Finally bought another in case it stopped again.

i had the same issue and found that it was the solid rubber washer in the spray valve. it appeared to be stuck in the valve chamber. i flipped it over in desperation and now it works fine. the older model had a built in tool in the spray lever to un-tighten the valve chamber.

I haven't had to replace mine. It's held up well in the washer. I use it every night. Have you tried Amazon, or perhaps the manufacturer?

Nope. But I did accidentally run it through the washer twice and after opening it up and drying out all the parts then putting it back together. IT STILL WORKED!

GENTLY wash with soap and water to loosen the plug both inside and outside, please use WARM water to soften, the plug also. REPEAT if required, and let AIR DRY completely.

I leave mine in for two to as much as five hours at a time and have had no problems. There have been two times when I have basically forgotten to check on it and it has stopped running. I think my breaker trips on my outdoor outlet and I am not sure why. I have no trouble getting the Aquabot running again though. When I leave it for extended time I do check on it but do not feel the need to constantly watch it. We did leave it turned off for several hours when we needed to leave before the job was done but I would not leave it in overnight or anything. When "junior" finishes I always take him out, remove the "basket" and rinse "junior" down with fresh water before putting him away. I think that may help prolong his working parts.

Unplug it, but you had better have good batteries. You can program a series of dots and that will be minimal or you can cover with a cloth when not in use.

Yep -- stuck it in the washer then air dried just a few days ago. Or I sometimes take a kitchen brush to it if it's not too dirty. Works great!

No washer. The gap is what makes this disconnect work. If there were no gap then the battery would still be connected. I have used this switch successfully for nearly 3 years and it works as designed. I use it to stop the slow overnight battery drain (short) I have.

Hi. I put mine is the washer and then let it air dry and it still remained in tact and did the job. It was the best one that I found. I intend to buy another very soon. Hope this answer your question.

i think there is a turn (off /on) tab on the back side. or simply unplug it. i always leave mine on but its up to you.

I put the thing in our washer and dryer in the "sanitize" (very hot) or "cold wash" cycle (we have a PureWash unit) depending on soil level/type ..... appears to clean up fine.

No. It has a rubber O-ring on the connection. I assume eventually if the O-ring wears out, you would need to buy a washer. However, out of the box no washer is needed.
